Rangers general manager Glen Sather couldn't pass up the opportunity to acquire a world-class talent like Rick Nash. Add that to the fact leading scorer Marian Gaborik could be out until November, and it seemed like only a matter of time before Sather got his man. "This quality of hockey player doesn't come along very often," Sather said. "The opportunity was here before the trade deadline, we couldn't make it go, we always felt like we would like to have a little more offense, especially with (last season's leading scorer Marian) Gaborik being out until at least November after shoulder surgery." Nash called the Rangers a "great fit for [his] style."
